If you’re already a Photoshop user and want a quick, just-tell-me-the-good-stuff way to unlock the potential of Photoshop CS6’s new features then this training course is the place to start. Ideal for people with experience using a previous version of Photoshop (CS5, CS4, or even CS3), this Photoshop CS6: What’s New? course is the easiest way to learn the new features, tips and shortcuts in Photoshop CS6 so you can start using them right away.

The Content Aware technology just keeps getting better in each version of Photoshop. Adobe added a brand new tool called Content Aware Move as well as adding content aware options to a tool that's been around for quite a while.

One of my personal favorites is the new Oil Paint filter. It's not something I use every day but I'm tellin' ya, when you want to make your photo look like a painting, this new filter is absolutely amazing.

If you're a designer of any sort or you work with type a lot in Photoshop, then the new Paragraph and Character styles make life much easier. By letting you create styles, you're now able to save your favorite type treatments in one place, and apply them to as many type layers as you want later.

If you shoot a lot of wide angle photos then the new Adaptive Wide Angle filter will come in really handy. It takes the task of manually fixing distortion or perspective problems and helps make it much easier and faster.

If you retouch photos than you know that selecting the skin tones has always been a manual process. Now in CS6, there's a way to limit your selections to only the skin tones in your photos so you can get to work on them a lot faster.

As you'll see in this video, this is a very limited-use feature in CS6. But if you've ever thought patterns in Photoshop were boring, then you'll probably love the new scripted patterns feature in CS6. Now you can apply seamless patterns with more options than ever to get the look and effect you're going for.

Hi, Matt… I often like a dark background to work on, too. In fact, I prefer black to the dark gray. One of my favorite choices in CS5 and probably older is the ability to right click on the background and change it to black, gray or a custom color. Is this choice still available in CS6? —- Yes, please post my feedback

Great job Matt on “Photoshop CS6: What’s New?” It gave me a fantastic refresher to remember what to teach my advanced Photoshop students at a local college. You’re the best! —- Yes, please post my feedback
